DHL Accelerates Warehouse Automation with SVT Robotics Platform
DHL Supply Chain announced the deployment of SVT Robotics’ SOFTBOT® platform across its global warehouse network, significantly accelerating the integration of robotics systems. The plug-and-play solution enables automation deployments up to 12 times faster than traditional custom coding, reducing setup times from several weeks to just hours in some cases.
The technology-agnostic platform allows DHL to connect and scale multiple robotics solutions through pre-built connectors, supporting a shift toward modular and flexible warehouse operations. The system also provides real-time monitoring and a unified data layer to improve performance visibility and coordination between human workers and robots.
Currently live in 30 sites, DHL plans to expand the platform to over 100 locations globally within three years, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and unlock further opportunities for AI-driven logistics optimization.
